Game status: Offline (in development)

In 2000, I built a multiplayer game with cartoon penguins. Strangers showed up to waddle around together. That experiment became Penguin Chat. Penguin Chat became Club Penguin. Club Penguin became a world where 300 million players made friends, threw snowballs, and built memories that still matter to them today.

I never stopped thinking about what made that work.

Not the penguins. Not the igloo decorating. Not the membership model. The thing that actually worked was simpler than all of that. People showed up because it felt like a place. A warm, silly, surprising place where you could just be with other people.

Box Critters is my attempt to build that feeling again. Deeper this time. For a new generation.
